Exploring the JIRA workspace
| 
PDF |
The Dashboard is the first page you see when you login to JIRA. It has three areas:
- The navigation bar (at the top of the screen) — this is the same on every page in JIRA.
It contains links which give you quick access to many of JIRA's most useful functions.
- The name of your JIRA system (e.g. 'My Company's JIRA') — this area can also contain a
'welcome' message from your JIRA administrator.
- The main area of the screen, below the top navigation bar — this area
can be customised to display many different types of information, depending on your
areas of interest. For details, please see Configuring the Dashboard.
Please note that your JIRA screen may look different from this screenshot, as the logo and colours may have been
customised by your JIRA administrator. The links, however, will be the same.
Note
You can return to the dashboard from any page in JIRA by clicking the 'Home' link on the
top navigation bar.
